Daisy blues

Sunlight streams through my window
I open my eyes
Tick tock tick tock
I turned towards the clock
I went outside to play
But he took my bicycle away

It rings and it has a basket too
It shines so bright and its color is blue
Riding my bicycle in the lane
Day or night, hot summers or rain
I remember how I used to sway
Why did he take my bicycle away

Running along on the street
Stretching lines incomplete
Limiting imagination
In a self strained way
Why did he take my bicycle away

Coming across short tempered Mr. James
Who never liked any of my games
I stared at him in wonder
And so he laughed and went away
Why did he take my bicycle away

I rushed towards his sweet new garden
And picked up all his daisy blues
I knew that he loved them all
Even more than his old shaggy shoes
He ran after me, but I got away
Why did he take my bicycle away

Evening comes, the trees get dark
And a lonely dog starts to bark
Walking, running all day long
Sleepy and drowsy, I sing my song
Trying hard to forget the day
The day he took my bicycle away

I returned home and went upstairs
Looked in the mirror and brushed my hair
Tick tock tick tock
I turned towards the clock
Its late at night and time to sleep
But he took all my dreams away
